Midtown Motor Inn, made famous in the 2006 comedy Talladega Nights, was purchased by MVP Hospitality earlier this month.

Located at 210 South Chester Street in Gastonia, the 43-unit motel was purchased on May 9, for $527,000.

“We’re planning on cleaning the property up and renovating it back to where it needs to be,” Manager Sam Patel said Friday. The Patel family-owned motel business has been in operation for more than three decades.

And if you’re wondering which room Ricky Bobby met his father in, Patel said it’s Room 208.
